BATURUA Y Opening of the Country club.
If society has transgressed during the
last forty days it has redeemed Itself
during the last seven, If going to church
and abstaining from entertaining or being
entertained counts for anything. Things
have been dead socially, but It has been
the lull that precedes the other extreme
and the fashionables evidently propose to
lose no tfme for there Is something on
the calendar for every day next week
and the Monday's mall not yet received,
the first time such a thing has happened
for weeks. But it la a modest plunge after
all, for there i nothing of conspicuous
consequence scheduled although some of
the smartest ones are among the hostesses.
The opening of the Country club Satur
day will practically put an end to the
"season of '05," as In addition to the out-of-door
features. It will launch the whole
series and variety of affairs that center
about the clubhouse and the people who
frequent It. Unless this year is different
from others, a great part of the luncheons
and dinners and like things will be given
there from now on. The opening will be
very much as usual and though the pro
gram has not yet been definitely announced
It will probably Include the dinner and
dance, with golf for the late afternoon
attraction.

f the three supposedly prime essentials,
brains, money and morals. Furthermore,
believe that if half the women in society
would be honest they would agree with me.
good moral character Is a fine thing, of
course, but It's little enough we women
know about men, anyway, and I believe
that the majority of our successful busi
es men are scarcely what our ministers
call of 'high moral character.' Frankly,
would prefer a man with money and some
bad habits to one whose scruples keep
him forever on the lower rounds of the
ladder. I would rather my daughter would
marry a reasonably smart man with means
than a poor man, no matter how promising
or brilliant he might be it is safer."
Carnegie Can Afford It.
Another mother who has for several
ears been a prominent educntor of the
city said: "It Is well enough for Mr.
Carnegie to accept an ex-coachman on
his mental and moral merits alone; the
Carnegie family scarcely stands in need
of money, but I doubt whether he would
lave been so well satisfied If, as Is so often
he case, Shis niece had had neither the
money nor the family position to fall back
upon In case the marriage did not turn out
well after all. I certainly think that
marriage between two persons of such
widely different station and environment
s dangerous as well as foolish business.
While intelligence or 'a business hejd' If
you will with uprightness of character Is
infinitely preferable to money, at the
same tlmo a young woman who has always
lived in luxury runs a great risk in marry
ing a man who has to work up."
Still another mother whose only daugh
ter promises to h.ld a high place In so
ciety when she has finished college In a
couple of year3, said: "1 would not ex
press my opinion on that subject for any
thing in the world, and It Is not that 1
have no opinion, either. Choosing a hus-
Dana ror a daughter or rather, approving
one, is like anything else pertaining to a
young woman's welfare; It depends upon
the girl and It depends upon the man, too.
Money is a highly desirable thing to have,
but It has been the ruination of many a
young man and his bride. And again, a
frivolous bride lias been the ruination of
many a promising young business man
while many a college girl's life has been
wrecked by young men who have attained
wealth and position while lacking those
finer things that are essentials to many
women. I am glad Mr. Carnegie Is so
pleased with his new kinsman, but I think
It depends upon the girl."
Depends I'pon the Girl.
A woman whose name carries weight In
club as well as social circles says' "It de
pends largely upon th girl. Of course.
money Is a very desirable and convenient
thing to have, but If a young man can
not have both I should prefer brains.

Here Is what one of the foremost of the
club women of the Young Women's
Christian association workers says: "
agree with Mr. Carnegie that honesty,
uprightness of character and Intelligence
should be placed before everything else
In a young man. Money Is a secondary
consideration, although it Is a desirable
thing to have. As for foreign noblemen
we Americans have been rather unfurt'
unate In our experience with them, but It
Is scarcely fair to condemn the entire
class because of the samples that we havo
had. A title does not necessarily pre
clude brains and because a man la rich
he Is not necessarily undoslruble."
The mother of one of next season's de-
uuianitfo Hays; 'Any girl Is foolish to
marry a man who has nothing. Of course
I would count a good business head the
most desirable asset a man can possess,
uui i wuuiu not want my daughter to

lost the confidence of Parliament, and knew
he had lost It. The present situation of the
government was serious, and not good for
the country. Free trade alone was the
basis of imperialism in its largest sense,
he said. We held our own with the coun
tries of the world because our fiscal sys
tem had given us opportunities which none
of the. other countries had, so far as for
eign trade was concerned. The real justi
fication for Mr. Chamberlain's agitation was
the necessity of making our educational
system In the widest sense of the word
more perfect.
The Liberal party had the opportunity
of making a far bigger educational policy
than had ever been dreamed of In the
philosophy of his majesty's administration.
Education should be taken up from the
point of view of the nation as a whole,
with the object of profiting by the lessons
taught us by Japan and Germany. The
next Liberal government must devote it
self, almost before anything else, to a
great educational policy, and to the better
ment of the social condition of the people
by dealing with the temperance, bousing,
and land questions, '

the composer and Is practically her sole
means of support in her declining years.
In "Indian Summer" the composer ha In
Kenlously woven various melodic surprises

to make It the most popular waits since
the Nordlca Waltzes. The few bars given
herewith give but a hint of the fascinating
character of the composition. The J. W.
Jenkins' Sons Music Co., of Kansas City,
Mc, are fortunate In securing the publica
tion of Mr. Wells' compositions, as well as
many other tuneful numbers that have be
come almost world famous. Among these
may be mentioned the songs "My Merce
des'' nnd "I Walt Alone I'or You" "A
Whispered Thought." novelette "South
ern Kmllo.a." march "Fraternity Belle,"
two-step, and others.
These charming compositions are being
accorded a phenomenal sale thn ighout
the country. Tin Increasing demand has
